Yet again, Kok-Liang asked me to arrange another trip to the old folks home, Rumah Seri Kenangan Cheng this Sunday (13/6/2010) together with a boys home, Rumah Budak Laki-Laki Tun Abdul Aziz in Durian Daun, Melaka. Therefore we are organising a short trip to these homes on Sunday and hope our fellow friends could join us.

There is a balance of RM 89.50 of donation we collected from the last trip to Rumah Seri Kenangan Cheng, and will used to purchase adult diapers and donate to the old folks home this Sunday, which are used by folks who have otherwise normal lives. 

What’s more, we are also collecting old clothing, unwanted toys, books, stationary and etc. for children who are below age of 18 and donate to the boys’ home, Rumah Budak Laki-Laki Tun Abdul Aziz on this Sunday. Spare us some of your old and unwanted goods otherwise your time and join us for this meaning day. We sincerely hope that you will find this a worthy event to support.

Rumah Seri Kenangan Cheng is a government funded old folks home and it takes care of senior citizens and also physically or minor mentally handicapped elderly. It is located in Cheng and about 30 minutes drive from Melaka town, next to the new Tesco Extra. The main objective of this trip was to raise awareness and build the compassionate heart towards the elderly among friends.

It was not the open day of the center when we went, thus the management prohibited us from taking photos of the elderly. However after unloaded the items from the car a staff, generously took us for a tour of the center’s residential dormitory where we met the elderly.

Every elderly seemed thrilled to have some company. While taking the walk with the staff, there were some elderly who talked to us and needed our attention. Some also smiled at us and wished we could snap photos of them when they saw our camera. They gave us a look that would soften even a heart of stone.

Currently there are 220 elderly staying at the center so it requires large amount of funds to maintain the center. According to the staff who led us, it would require more adult diapers (size: L) for the elderly. So we’ve decided to make another trip there with more adult diapers.

Thanks to Kok-Liang for the arrangement and fellow friends for the support. It was a fulfilling event and we hope it is a little glimmer of something special for elderly who have so little. May all beings be happy.

Today I received a call from a friend, Kok-Liang and asked to arrange a trip to Rumah Seri Kenangan Cheng in Melaka on this coming Friday. It is one of the government old folk’s homes in Melaka where homeless senior citizens can take refuge. Furthermore, he wants to make some donation to the center and hopes our friends can be part of it.

I was touched by Kok-Liang’s words and action; he told me that we must realize how lucky we are and should have pity on the less fortune ones. Immediately we called up a few friends and got good responses and support. We will be collecting donation from friends till Friday, then purchase daily necessities and donate to the senior citizens staying in Rumah Seri Kenangan Cheng.

Our dear friends, we sincerely hope that you can give your support or join us for the trip to the old folk’s home on Friday. May all beings be happy 🙂
